40 and pregnant

I must be crazy. We have two girls, one is 16 and one is two and my husband wanted to try for a boy. It looks like my baby's risk for down syndrome is around 1 in 65ish. I'm have a CVS in early January. Oh yeah, about a week before I found out I was pregnant, my husband lost his mind and decided to leave.

I hate that my chart says "elderly." Ugh.

Just turned 40 today..certainly not elderly. My 96 year old nana told me I'm not old to have a baby...I think she had number 8 at 38ish...my fil was number 5 -his mum was 47!! So just enjoy still being able to bring a baby in the world. Your husband sounds like he needs to grow up.

I turn 40 in Feb and just found out I am 7 weeks pregnant. I don't think I am old my mom had me at 40 and I have always been healthy in mind and body. You are not old whatever your husband is running from he will soon to find out. Be strong you and your family and believe that God is able and he will come through for you.

I'm 40 and have a 17 year old graduating this year. I'm doing a surrogate though. I was told to take folic acid. Sorry bout your hubby. Hopefully he will come around. Of not your better off without him. Two babies is too much.

So sorry to hear about your husband. I actually went through a similar situation. I got pregnant at 40 and delivered at 40. About a month after discovering I was pregnant, he decided to end the relationship. Not because of the pregnancy, but because if other pressing issues in our relationship. He eventually told me that it was not his intention to break up with me - he was just trying to get me to see that we had major problems to work through. He was surprised that I agreed to the "break up". He was constantly around during the pregnancy and now we are back together. Saying that to say, you never know how things will work out. I will also say that your focus right now is your health and your precious unborn baby. Please do not take on any added stress. He will either get back on board or he will not. Be good to yourself and celebrate this new life. Regarding "elderly" - lol ....it's just a label. Block anything that makes you feel bad and declare that you are healthy and whole. Sending hugs!
